Mobile home - Additional installation requirements:
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The
installation must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile home construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSA-Z240
MH.
Mobile home installations require:
Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase ■
from your dealer. For further information, see “Assistance
or Service” section in your Use and Care Guide.
Special provisions must be made in mobile homes ■
to introduce outside air into dryer. Openings (such
as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large
as dryer exhaust opening.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
It is your responsibility:
To contact a qualied electrical installer. ■
To be sue that the electrical connection is adequate and ■
in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 - latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply
connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved
in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 ■
volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208
volt electrical supply, if specied on the serial/rating plate)
on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse
in the neutral or grounding circuit.
Do not use an extension cord. ■
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, ■
it is recommended that a qualied electrician determine
that the ground path is adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type
of electrical connection you will be using and follow
the instructions provided for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire ■
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor
is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white
wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire
electrical supply connection, the neutral ground conductor
must be removed from the external ground connector (green
screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center
or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground
conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center
or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet
is isolated from the neutral conductor.
If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ■
ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire
connection” section.
A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when ■
the appliance is installed in a location where grounding
through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding
through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit
installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles,
and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through
the neutral conductors.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt ■
minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT
and be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect
to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals
with upturned ends.
A UL listed strain relief. ■
If your outlet looks like this:
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord
with ring or spade terminals and UL listed
strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord,
at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have four
10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire
receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground
4-wire receptacle
(14-30R)
wire (ground conductor) may be either green
or bare. The neutral conductor must be
identied by a white cover.
If your outlet looks like this:
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord
with ring or spade terminals and UL listed
strain relief. The 3-wire power supply cord,
at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have three
10-gauge copper wires and match a 3-wire
3-wire receptacle
(10-30R)
receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
Choose a standard power supply cord connector:

Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns. ■
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room ■
as possible.
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. ■
Use as few 90° turns as possible. ■
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
Use following Vent system chart to determine type of vent ■
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied in
Vent system chart.
Exhaust systems longer than those specied will:
Shorten life of dryer. ■
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times ■
and increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help achieve best drying performance.
NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installation have a 90° turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add on
90° turn to the chart.
NOTE: If exible transition vent is used, the length must be
subtracted from the total exhaust length in the vent system chart.
